Another perspective: No one is forced to stand in line to buy cheesecake or pay more for their slice so the next guy in line can have free cheesecake. And of course, when the word gets out about the free cheesecake, the line does get really long, but after a while, everyone notices that the cheesecake isn't as good as it used to be; maybe they are taking a few shortcuts in the kitchen. Ultimately, the restaurant can't afford to give out free cheesecake, and it goes broke. Now, no one has any cheesecake.
